Wow, Nickos likes Batman! All those just off the top of your head?!
I have a select and very carefully chosen collection of three batman figures.
One is a four inch scale Dark Knight figure. Poor articulation, but the sulpt is excellent and he's the most realistic four inch scale Bats figure I've found.
The other two, well I can't remember what line they're from. One is 6" scale, the other is in the the larger 7" scale. Both are in the classical grey/black. I'll try and find out which line they are from. I'll check Nick's list...

I think one of my ones is from an 'Arkham' line.
Nick, 'Cheese taster Batman'?

Oh cool. I have a respectable collectionment of DC action figeroons. In no order.
Superman with the interchangeable alien head (DC Direct?). Great nice tall serious looking Supes figure.
DC Direct Darksied. Very trim yet purposefuly evil looking figure.
DC Universe Legends Wonder Woman. I actualy 'fancy' this action figure and would make love to it if only it were life sized. I'd take it out to dinner first, of course.
Mongul, from Universe Legends Classics (what was the Line called?). Just a great figure to have great fights against Superman with.
Lex Luthor, I assume from the Universe Classics Legends 6 inch line, 'cos of the articulation. Green pants and purple shirt. This figure has an excellent expression on its face that just says 'calculating evil' to me.

I think the only super hero toys I've ever owned were a playmobil like Captain American with a motorbike and possibly a similar Spiderman. I always associate them with the KO bright orange and hard plastic Moss Man I got on holiday in Spain so assume they too are knock offs.

I LOVE MARVEL UNIVERSE!!!!!
OK. Top 5 is hard....
1. Fantastic 4 'Herbie 3 pack'. Great modern F4 set.
2. Dr Doom. Brilliant sculpt.
3. Sentry. Modern Blonde Bombshell.
4. Extremis Iron Man. Shinny.
5. Thanos. Brilliant, meaty.
Also thrilled to have a complete Wrecking Crew!!!!
Mention of course to Masterworks Galactus, who 'goes' with the Universe line. Huge huge huge (even though his voice is a tad goody sounding...)

Ahh, Secret Wars action figures! I only ever had two, Spiderman and Dr Doom, but I'm very fond of this brilliant line, as it was my first taste of any Marvel based toys.

Oh man, where to begin? 1) Might Gaine Goryu - Dai Atlas is one of my favourite Transformers toys of all time. This one has all the functions and features, and dare I say a better colour scheme! 2) Goldran Captain Shark - It's a shark space pirate ship that turns into a robot space pirate. It has a 16 barrel rocket launcher, sleeve missiles shaped like a hook and a harpoon, and a cutlass. Lack of arm articulation is the only downside. 3) Goldran... Goldran - beautiful shiny chrome Mechagodzilla cousin with a clever transformation, oodles of firing missiles, a beautiful big katana and very good articulation for the time. He combines with Leon Kizer and Sorokage, who are also brilliant in their own ways and only lose out on their own spots because I have too many other figures to enthuse over! 4) Command Dagwon Dugbase - also called Grandus: Civilian edition. The weapons are stripped out and replace with civics-friendly traffic lights. Transforms into a train terminus with four platforms (ideally sized for the members of Super Liner Dagwon, who also narrowly miss the top five) and has two more Micromaster ramp connectors on his remoulded feet. Body is basically a photonegative of Grandus' colours. 5) Takara MP02 King Exkizer - Car and caravan turn into big ol' lion themed robot with a big honkin' sword. The car robot isn't much to write home about but the combined form is cool and the whole lot combines with their giant spaceship buddy, Dragon Kizer (MP02-B?). Clever transformation and combination, good articulation, a really striking, dynamic look and piles of crazy weapons. Superb. Only downside- no base mode or Micromaster ramps  I could go on. -Nick |

Week 37: Brave
Now this one, I can have a legitimate opinion on, and I really am spoiled for choice:-
5) Super Build Tiger: A construction robot team who are quite fun by themselves, and then combine into a really nice looking combined form. I've only got the regular Build Tiger, but have seen the Super version and they are both cracking toys.
4) J Dekker - A police incident control unit that is there to back up a police car robot - literally in this case, as he merges with the command unit to form his super-mode. Good fun toy with its leg cannons, baton and siren. It also looks absolutely marvelous.
3) Da Garn - Another small car-robot who merges with stuff. In this case the quite good fun little small car robot stores his super-mode parts as two express train motive units and a super-tech fighter. The process of combining them is simple but lots of fun (I love the way the chest decoration slides apart to emphasis the globe of the Earth in the centre of the chest). Great to look at, and tremendous fun to fiddle about with.
2) Captain Shark - The very Shark Tai-sa himself. A shark-spaceship, a Space Pirate (not space pirate, there is a distinction), one of the best missile launchers ever mounted on a toy.
1) Masterpiece Ex-Kaiser - Goes back to the first central hero of the Brave franchise, and gives it a phenomenal update - adding articulation to the external suit/trailer section but keeping the striking design that Kunio Okawara had come up with. Fantastic piece of work.
Honorable mentions: Unfair to single out a few toys from such a wonderful array... but nevertheless - Goldran - so shiny and, with his combining partners, equipped with so many fun play features, Guard Diver, Goryu, Sky Saber... I could keep going, and going, and going...

I dont have much but what I do I like. I really should get more.
Dug- If I never get Grandus at least I have this guy.
Ratchet - Not sure what Ratchet is really called, but I know (think) he was part of a 3 man team and one of the other three was a fire engine. Anyway Ratchet is by far the best G1 Ratchet Takara or Hasbro ever made. Admittedly theres not a lot of competition, even including Universe Ratchet theres only 2 G1 ratchets, but this ones better. He even splits in half so if I ever find a suitable Megatron I can recreate the fused form.
Captain Shark - If Transformers import one character from Brave it has to be Capt Shark. I want classic, animated, Masterpiece versions.

Brave is something which kind of passed me by; I regret now thinking at the time "That looks nice, but it's not really Transformers is it?". Liking the look of Masterpiece Exkaiser there.

Brave is as close as you can get to buying Transformers without having the Transformers Logo on the box.
I deeply regret selling my GaoGaiGar truck combiners as they are BIG money to replace now: I had both sets.
